he might not be happy, roaming can also be a sign of trying to escape where they are, one of mine did that till i moved her...and i think the fact he is active during the day is a sign of not being totally happy..
how often are you trying to feed?
have you got a 9l rub at all that you can pop him into inside the viv...
check this set up out for young royals

| if you cant get a rub, you could if possible put a divider in the viv, and reduce that one down to 12 inches..but you would have to watch your temps to get them right again.. |

does he have any other hides? they like hides where they can feel secure, so small to start with is good..and with such a big viv for him you could do with at least another two or three hides..
what else is in there?
cool end is to low, could do with coming up to around 26 c
how are you measuring temps? is it with difital thermometers? |

by basking lamp do you mean an infra red heat bulb? if not what colour is it?
and can the logs be used as hides, can he get under them? |

thats another problem, the light will interfere and he can see it,
whats type of viv have you got? is it glass or wooden?
he needs to be either on an infra red or a ceramic running off either a dimmer for the infrared or a pulse for the ceramic
are you using a stat for that basking lamp?
you need to ditch it...that on its own will cause you problems and stress your snake out.. |

thats good then, cos they dont need that light and it would interfere with there natural cycle..
i dont have a glass viv, but there are others on here who do and can assist with getting temps up...
i know they dont hold heat very well... |
